Cubs Could Provide Mariners With Multiple Avenues to Get Better

The Cubs are reportedly gearing up to sell at the trade deadline later this month and there are quite a few potential fits for the Mariners. Ty and Colby assess the "complicated" venture of targeting Cody Bellinger or Ian Happ then discuss the possibilities of Seiya Suzuki, Mike Tauchman, and others.

No way Jose are the Mariners interested in Bellinger and Happ. I can give anyone millions of reasons why. As in Bellinger being paid 27.5 mill this year and 27.5 next year. Happ being paid 20 mill this year and 20 mill next year. Way way outside the Mariners payroll budget. As 3 month rentals? The Cubs would probably be looking for several top prospects. Ixnay on that. Think the Mariners have it bad? The Cubs team payroll is 214 mill and Milwaukee's is 104 mill. Currently the Cubs are 11 games behind the Brewers. Plus the Cubs hired away from the Brewers manager Craig Counsel and are paying him 40 mill for 5 years. Now that's a shipwreck. Tampa's Paredes and Arozarena would be nice fits. Right handed hitting third baseman and outfielder is just what the doctor ordered and at Mariner affordable contracts. The most likely trade is the one that we know for sure there are two teams both interested. The White Sox have started to scout the Mariners farm system. Think Robert Jr. and Michael Kopech. Both are Mariner contract friendly. Robert Jr. this year 12.5 mill, 15 mill next year. Kopech 3 mill this year. Kopech throws high 90's low 100's. He's inconsistent. One outing he's Aroldis Chapman blowing the hitters away. The next outing batters hit bombs off him. The Sox will likely seek 2 of the Mariners top 5 prospects plus a low level minors player with some potential.

I understand that it might not be great for the Ms against Baltimore but Logan vs Burnes could be CINEMA from a purely pitching perspective (and I'm sure Pitching Ninja is salivating already lol).

[@Chawk12]

B9... down 2-0.... The M's tonight have only 2 base hits... somethings gotta give, right? WRONG❗❗ W/ Runners on 2nd & 3rd AND w/ our #7 batter (JULIO) @ the plate... the fans yet again witness ANOTHER terrible AB ... Another K The offense.... Julio.... ownerships Unfortunate stance on payroll that began in the offseason and probably continues as we speak... ARE ALL COMICAL! I've never been so frustrated and pissed off about a 1st place team!! 2 MANY CHANGES need to be made for this team to make the Playoffs. Averaging 2-5 hits a game is embarrassing! Besides Logan & Kirby.... EVERYONE ON OUR 40 MAN ROSTER IS TRADABLE ..... PLEASE just do whatever it takes to get this city a WS! Go M's

[@TerryLane4427]

Sellers y the end of July, but what are the chances the inept offensive will end up dividing the team? Pitchers knowing they have no margin for error. With each Runner in Scoring Position left in scoring position increasing the level of frustration we all are feeling.

[@ChristianWatkins-qb4pm]

Bellinger and honer would he a huge upgrade...but what will ot cost?

[@OwlBeBack25]

Jon morosi has completely lost credibility with me. Shakiness is an understatement tbh

[@mattgravett4685]

a package deal involving hary ford /walt ford /lazaro montes/Tai Pete /Micheal Arroyo/Johnny Farmelo /Felnin Celesten /Mich Garver / Mich Haniger to the cubs for Justin Steele /Nico Hoerner /Ian Happ /cody Bellinger /Dansby Swanson move miller to the bullpen this deal could be a deal like what the cano deal was when he went to the mets when diaz went to so steele would be the incentive

[@maxgutfreund3650]

Give me Hoerner, Happ, and Canha! No not Alonso, Robert, etc. But solid EVERY DAY players!

[@tonyangelo9109]

Bellinger, no thanks. He could have signed in the offseason and declined too. We need players who want to actually play for this team.

[@Michael-id9bw]

The way this team is trending should they even be buyers at the deadline anymore?
